Generally people save money, respect, value and other thing for post retirement life. So that they can live the post retirement phase of life peacefully and happily.

At the retirement period, the scenario of peaceful & dignified life has been made joke for CJI Ranjan Gogoi.

CJI Gogoi has reached to an age of 64, and throughout his life, he has a respectful presence in society. He has performed his role as Judge for almost 18 years. In his service life he devoted his life for Nation, establishing justice.

It looks that people rather becoming sensitive, they have taken the allegation of sexual harassment on him as a “Masala” news. People should have acted sensitively; they should have respected CJI Gogoi for his long time association in judiciary and contribution for Nation, but nothing like that happening in this matter.

• Whether countrymen should not think in this way that, some power working against him and want to bring him down for their ulterior motive, especially when CJI Gogoi said that “some big force working behind it”?
• What If the allegations found false in further investigation or trial, will this restore the lost respect of person?
• Whether the law provides enough protection to accuse in false case, which causes accused man to undergo into mental trauma, agony, humiliation?
